Pinyin is the official romanisation system used in China, Singapore, Taiwan, and by the <a href="/wiki/United_Nations" title="United Nations">United Nations</a>. Its use has become common when transliterating Standard Chinese mostly regardless of region, though it is less ubiquitous in Taiwan.

This is necessary in order to distinguish the front high rounded vowel in <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">lü</i></span> (e.g. <span lang="zh-Hans">驴</span>; <span lang="zh-Hant">驢</span>; 'donkey') from the back high rounded vowel in <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">lu</i></span> (e.g. <span lang="zh-Hans">炉</span>; <span lang="zh-Hant">爐</span>; 'oven'). Tonal markers are placed above the umlaut, as in <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">lǘ</i></span>. </p><p>However, the <i>ü</i> is <i>not</i> used in the other contexts where it could represent a front high rounded vowel, namely after the letters <i>j</i>, <i>q</i>, <i>x</i>, and <i>y</i>. For example, the sound of the word for 'fish' (<span lang="zh-Hans">鱼</span>; <span lang="zh-Hant">魚</span>) is transcribed in pinyin simply as <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">yú</i></span>, not as *<span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">yǘ</i></span>. This practice is opposed to Wade–Giles, which always uses <i>ü</i>, and <a href="/wiki/Tongyong_Pinyin" title="Tongyong Pinyin">Tongyong Pinyin</a>, which always uses <i>yu</i>. Whereas Wade–Giles needs the umlaut to distinguish between <i>chü</i> (pinyin <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">ju</i></span>) and <i>chu</i> (pinyin <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">zhu</i></span>), this ambiguity does not arise with pinyin, so the more convenient form <i>ju</i> is used instead of <i>jü</i>. Genuine ambiguities only happen with <i>nu</i>/<i>nü</i> and <i>lu</i>/<i>lü</i>, which are then distinguished by an umlaut. </p><p>Many fonts or output methods do not support an umlaut for <i>ü</i> or cannot place tone marks on top of <i>ü</i>. Likewise, using <i>ü</i> in input methods is difficult because it is not present as a simple key on many keyboard layouts. For these reasons <i>v</i> is sometimes used instead by convention. For example, it is common for cellphones to use <i>v</i> instead of <i>ü</i>. Additionally, some stores in China use <i>v</i> instead of <i>ü</i> in the transliteration of their names. The drawback is a lack of <a href="/wiki/Precomposed_character" title="Precomposed character">precomposed characters</a> and limited font support for <a href="/wiki/Combining_accent" class="mw-redirect" title="Combining accent">combining accents</a> on the letter <i>v</i>, (<span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">v̄<span class="wrap"> </span>v́<span class="wrap"> </span>v̌<span class="wrap"> </span>v̀</span>). </p><p>This also presents a problem in transcribing names for use on passports, affecting people with names that consist of the sound <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">lü</i></span> or <span title="Chinese-language romanization"><i lang="zh-Latn">nü</i></span>, particularly people with the surname <span lang="zh">吕</span> (<i><span lang="zh-Latn"><a href="/wiki/L%C3%BC_(surname)" title="Lü (surname)">Lǚ</a></span></i>), a fairly common surname, particularly compared to the surnames <span lang="zh">陆</span> (<i><span lang="zh-Latn"><a href="/wiki/Lu_(surname_%E9%99%86)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lu (surname 陆)">Lù</a></span></i>), <span lang="zh">鲁</span> (<i><span lang="zh-Latn"><a href="/wiki/Lu_(surname_%E9%B2%81)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lu (surname 鲁)">Lǔ</a></span></i>), <span lang="zh">卢</span> (<i><span lang="zh-Latn"><a href="/wiki/Lu_(surname_%E5%8D%A2)" class="mw-redirect" title="Lu (surname 卢)">Lú</a></span></i>) and <span lang="zh">路</span> (<i><span lang="zh-Latn"><a href="/wiki/Lu_(surname_%E8%B7%AF)" title="Lu (surname 路)">Lù</a></span></i>). Previously, the practice varied among different passport issuing offices, with some transcribing as "LV" and "NV" while others used "LU" and "NU".

There is an exception for syllabic nasals like <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-Latn-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/m/</span>, where the nucleus of the syllable is a consonant: there, the diacritic will be carried by a written dummy vowel. </p><p>When the nucleus is <span class="IPA nowrap" lang="und-fonipa" title="Representation in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)">/<a href="/wiki/Mid_central_vowel" title="Mid central vowel">ə</a>/</span> (written <i>e</i> or <i>o</i>), and there is both a medial and a coda, the nucleus may be dropped from writing.

This has drawn some criticism as it may lead to confusion when uninformed speakers apply either native or English assumed pronunciations to words. However, this problem is not limited only to pinyin, since many languages that use the Latin alphabet natively also assign different values to the same letters. A recent study on Chinese writing and literacy concluded, "By and large, pinyin represents the Chinese sounds better than the Wade–Giles system, and does so with fewer extra marks."<sup id="cite_ref-FOOTNOTETaylorTaylor2014124_31-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTETaylorTaylor2014124-31"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>29<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As pinyin is a phonetic writing system for modern <a href="/wiki/Standard_Chinese" title="Standard Chinese">Standard Chinese</a>, it is not designed to replace characters for writing <a href="/wiki/Literary_Chinese" class="mw-redirect" title="Literary Chinese">Literary Chinese</a>, the standard written language prior to the early 1900s.
